LRU cache built on top of React Native's AsyncStorage (or included MemoryStore) and automatic pruning of least recently used items.
- Run the following command.
npm install --save react-native-cache
- Import the library.
import { Cache } from "react-native-cache";
You initialize a cache using the following.
var cache = new Cache({
namespace: "myapp",
policy: {
maxEntries: 50000
},
backend: AsyncStorage
});
Multiple caches can be mantained in an application by instantiating caches with different namespaces.
cache.setItem("hello", "world", function(err) {
// key 'hello' is 'world' in cache
});
cache.getItem("key1", function(err, value) {
console.log(value);
// 'hello'
});
Getting an item from the cache also moves it to the end of the LRU list: it will be evicted from the cache last.
cache.removeItem("key1", function(err) {
// 'key1' is no more.
});
You can also peek at an item in the cache without updating its position in the LRU list:
cache.peekItem("key1", function(err, value) {
// 'world'
});
You can look at all of the elements in the cache without updating its position in the LRU list:
cache.getAll(function(err, entries) {
// {
// "key1": { "value": 42 }
// "key2": { "value": 2 }
// ...
// }
});
You can also clear all of the items in the cache with:
cache.clearAll(function(err) {
// the whole cache is cleared now.
});
